Hi all,
This is a build for my friend. The build has to include everything (monitor, headset/speakers, case, keyboard and mouse, etc.). He's going to do 3d modeling (Blender) and play games on it.
Here's what we have in mind now
CPU: AMD FX-8320
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3,1600-8GB KIT
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM003
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD 7870 XT
Case: LanCool PC-K62
PSU: Corsair GS 600
Monitor: ???
Sound System: ???
The current list leaves only around €180 for the monitor and speakers... quite tight. Any ways we can down without introducing bottlenecks? I'm thinking the case could be something cheaper (Silverstone's non-windowed ps06 probably).
Also I heard amd's graphics cards are better for 3d modeling than nvidia?
